Chicagoland a-cat

Just curious if there are any A-cats here in Chicago. I'm in the market for a used one, but I'd like to (in general) confirm what I know about them on the water before I drive a long way to buy one.
So if there are any a-cats around who wouldn't mind giving a featherweight a ride, I'd love it.
My Sol Cat 18 is a bit much boat to be sailing single handed in any interesting wind.
Get in touch!

I'm ok, don't call the Coast Guard.
Not sure about Chicagoland, but there will be quite a few (probably around 10) at the CRAM Muskegon regatta on August 24-26. Check http://cramsailing.com/muskegon_new.htm for details

Thanks! That gave me the idea to look at the CRAW website. Their Lighthouse II regatta has 15 a-cats registered, including some semi-legendary names. :O It started today, but with gale warnings at 35kts, possible waterspouts and waves @6-10ft, today's sailing may be cancelled. http://www.crawsailing.org/ Tomorrow should be saner.
